Oman Air had suspended its flights on November 26 owing to the disorder that led to the closure of the two airports in the city. The Airline operated over 3 relief flights from U-Tapao Airport, and one from Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Over 1100 Oman Air passengers have been evacuated.

Following the re-opening of Suvarnabhumi International Airport on 5 December 2008, remaining tourists/travellers are advised to contact airline Reservation Centres directly by telephone or e-mail to re-confirm their intention to travel in accordance with standard airline procedures for flight reservations requests.

Full airport operations will resume following a re-certification of the airport in accordance with internationally-recognized standards and guidelines established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations.
